LAN Networks

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2621
Player Version#: 1.6.5.1097-3bb9dc68

Under Remote Access I ‘Limit remote stream bitrate’ to 4 Mbps.
I’d like to bypass this restriction when streaming from my office. Plex Server is at home.
I have a site-to-site VPN managed by the routers at home and work – if that matters.
Under Network, I set LAN Networks to 10.10.10.1/255.255.255.0, 10.0.1.254/255.255.254.0 (home and work respectively)
My office computer is 10.0.0.10 but it’s still streaming as if remote - 4 Mbps / 720p.
I’m using Plex for Windows as the client.
I’ve tried using the WAN IP in LAN Networks to no avail. Dashboard shows 10.0.0.10 while streaming, though.

Any thoughts on what I’m missing here?

Try specifying your work network as “10.0.0.0/255.255.254.0” instead. That’s the subnet to which that IP address belongs.

Good call – but no go. Same results. That setting seems to not require a server restart; as a ‘sanity check’ I removed my home network and clients immediately started streaming as remote.

I’ll probably write this one off as an issue with the setup of my network.

Something you should also check is that there are no spaces in the comma-separated list. So this:

10.10.10.1/255.255.255.0,10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0

Not this:

10.10.10.1/255.255.255.0, 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0

I just tested here and adding a space causes the second network listed to not be seen as local.

Another test would be to just specify the work computer’s IP address itself in the list:

10.10.10.1/255.255.255.0,10.0.0.10
